Opportunity Summary:
The Program of Comprehensive and Integrated Support to People with Disabilities is a USAID funding opportunity intended to support a broad, coordinated disability-focused program implemented by an experienced organization or a consortium. Issued by USAID/RDMA (Regional Development Mission for Asia) with administrative reference to USAID Bangkok, the opportunity is structured as a three-year cooperative agreement. That means USAID expects to remain substantially involved in the project during implementation, not just provide funds and step back, so applicants should be prepared for close collaboration, reporting, and ongoing technical engagement with the agency.
This opportunity was released as a discretionary Request for Applications (RFA) under Funding Opportunity Number USAID VIETNAM RFA 486 12 007, with the title "Program of Comprehensive and Integrated Support to People with Disabilities." The funding activity category is listed as Community Development, and it falls under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The maximum total award amount (award ceiling) is $9,000,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for organizations that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal resources.
Eligibility is open to both U.S. and non-U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including consortia, which signals that USAID is open to partnerships that combine complementary strengths such as service delivery capacity, technical disability expertise, policy and advocacy experience, and local presence. While the summary text does not list specific program components, the emphasis on a "comprehensive and integrated" disability program typically points to multi-sector approaches that may combine health and rehabilitation supports, community-based services, inclusion in education and livelihoods, and strengthening systems that improve accessibility and participation for people with disabilities. Applicants would be expected to propose a cohesive model that connects these elements rather than operating isolated activities.
